We support project developers and organisations in the identification, structuring, development and valuation of projects with the potential to generate carbon credits and other environmental assets, integrating origination, technical design, monitoring, verification and marketing into a comprehensive, results-oriented approach.

The climate transition requires robust, well-structured projects capable of generating verifiable impact. For this to happen, it is not enough simply to identify an opportunity: it is necessary to assess its potential, design the project correctly, choose the appropriate standard, organise the technical and documentation processes, and ensure that the resulting asset can reach the market with the necessary guarantees.

At Global Factor, we carry out this work through Offcarbon, our division specialising in the origination of carbon credits and other environmental assets. We support project developers and organisations throughout the entire process, from the initial project analysis through to its technical development, monitoring, verification and commercialisation.

Our approach combines technical expertise, project vision and market insight, linking this area with the group’s capabilities in climate change, environmental markets, renewable energy and engineering.

We support organisations and project developers in creating projects capable of generating carbon credits under recognised schemes and with a sound technical basis. We work on:

• Identifying origination opportunities
• Preliminary assessment of the emissions reduction potential
• Analysing the project’s alignment with applicable frameworks and standards
• Defining the roadmap for the development of the asset
• A technical and strategic approach to turning the project into a structured environmental asset

We approach origination as a comprehensive process in which the value of the asset depends both on theclimate impact and on the technical, documentary and methodological soundness of the project.

We assess the project’s potential to determine its viability as an initiative for generating carbon credits or other environmental assets. We work on:

• Analysis of the potential for greenhouse gas reductions
• Assessment of project eligibility
• Analysis of technical and implementation feasibility
• Identification of monitoring, reporting and verification requirements
• Reviewing the project’s suitability according to its type and context
• Preliminary selection of the most appropriate methodological approach

The aim is to identify from the outset whether the project has real potential, what requirements it must meet and which path is most suitable for its development.

We help transform an identified opportunity into a well-defined, structured project that is ready to move forward, based on technical, methodological and financial criteria. We work on:

• Defining the project structure
• Designing the development roadmap
• Selecting the most appropriate standard according to the type of project
• Financial planning for the process
• Organising milestones, documentation requirements and validation phases
• Integrating feasibility and additionality criteria

We design each project with a view to practical implementation, so that it can progress with clarity, methodological consistency and the ability to generate value.

We provide technical support throughout the monitoring, reporting and verification phases required to ensure the project’s traceability and integrity. We work on:

• Designing monitoring, recording and verification processes
• Developing technical project documentation
• Support with baseline scenarios and the calculation of reductions
• Drawing up monitoring plans
• Support with required reports and evidence
• Assistance with validation, registration and verification
• Issuing certificates where applicable

This stage is key to ensuring that the project can be rigorously sustained and that its impact can be verifiably demonstrated.

We support developers in enhancing the value of and bringing to market the loans generated, linking the project’s development with its commercial potential. We work on:

• Preparing the asset for marketing
• Market focus and project valuation
• Support in identifying marketing opportunities
• Linking the project structure to its commercial appeal
• Integrating the market launch strategy into the asset’s development

We view marketing as a phase that is integral to the project’s design from the outset, because the asset’s final value also depends on how the entire process has been structured and managed.

We provide support for renewable energy projects seeking to structure and manage energy certificates as part of their strategy for realising value and accessing environmental assets. We work on:

• Advice on market mechanisms linked to renewable energy
• Certificates of origin for green electricity
• Support with certification standards
• Market research for the purchase and sale of guarantees of origin
• Comprehensive management of renewable energy certificates for renewable energy projects
• Integration of these assets into the project’s overall strategy

At Offcarbon, we approach this area from the perspective of the developer and asset development, linking renewable generation with its potential for certification and valuation.

• Climate and energy project developers
• Organisations with emissions reduction initiatives
• Developers of renewable energy projects
• Entities seeking to structure market-based environmental assets
• Organisations requiring technical support for validation and verification processes
• Developers wishing to link climate impact, project structure and valuation
